Chapter 1

No, this is not beta Monokuma.

Taking place during the time period in which Byakuya Togami was held captive by the Warriors of Hope, this somehow lore friendly story explains why Byakuya was somewhat unimpressed when Toko and Komaru saved him, why he was so suddenly willing to help Makoto rehabilitate the Ultimate Despairs, and how Monaca was able to do the research which assisted in her creation of robot Miaya Gekkogahara.
